Precision in Practice. Performance with Purpose.
Why clients choose us
Advisers, liquidators, and lawyers each play roles in the business ecosystem, but their mandates are narrow.
Business advisers often lack formal qualifications and operate within a limited set of options. Their role typically ends with referring clients into formal insolvency processes. Liquidators are bound by statutory duties to act for creditors, not to preserve enterprise value or protect directors. Their multi-layered structures and statutory fee entitlements make them costly and creditor-focused. Lawyers excel in litigation but are not trained to manage the operational, financial, and multi-stakeholder complexities of distressed businesses.
Avaer fills this gap.
We bring integrated expertise in law, accounting, finance, financial modelling & analysis, and negotiation. With deep restructuring and transformation experience across industries and business sizes, we know how to stabilise operations, preserve enterprise value, and deliver restructuring solutions that others cannot. Our ability to access specialist financial products and manage multi-stakeholder negotiations ensures swift, commercially effective outcomes where others are constrained by scope.
Our approach in action
Every engagement at Avaer starts with understanding — and ends with results.
At Avear, we:
- Listen carefully before offering advice;
- Collaborate closely with our clients;
- Deliver frameworks that are actionable, not theoretical; and
- Provide support through every step of execution.
Project Savour
Avaer were engaged by a prominent hospitality group to develop a strategy to avoid insolvency in the wake of prolonged COVID-19 impacts. Avaer designed and executed a restructuring plan that reduced supplier payments, closed unprofitable locations, and negotiated lower rents on remaining stores. Using a Creditors’ Compromise, we secured compliance from minority dissenting creditors, ensuring the plan’s success.
This decisive restructure preserved more than half of the retail network and safeguarded over 170 jobs, positioning the business for a sustainable recovery.
Project Luxe
Avaer partnered with an iconic Australian luxury brand to deliver a comprehensive business restructure that revitalised its market position, streamlined operations, and restored profitability.
Our work encompassed the renegotiation of key commercial leases, the orderly closure of underperforming stores, and the redesign of supply chain operations to improve efficiency and resilience. To enhance brand visibility and reach, we negotiated an exclusivity arrangement with Australia’s largest airline, securing premium placement of the brand’s products in its in-flight magazine.
This integrated approach not only strengthened the company’s operational foundations but also reinvigorated its brand presence, positioning it for sustainable growth in a competitive market.
Project Ore
Avaer were engaged by a major mining infrastructure company facing imminent insolvency, triggered by a single large onerous contract. Our mandate was to assess all restructuring options, evaluate their implications for diverse stakeholders, and implement the most viable solution.
Through targeted negotiations, we secured the company’s release from the contract, freeing capital and resources essential to continue the project. In parallel, we designed and implemented infrastructure systems to stabilise operations and restore momentum. This intervention not only rescued the business from insolvency but also preserved creditor value, avoiding any financial loss to stakeholders.
